Farewell

Bob Dylan

Transposer:

Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn. I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico Or maybe the coast of Californ. So it's fare thee well my own true love We'll meet another day another time. It ain't the leavin' That's a-grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind. The weather is against me and the wind blows hard The rain is turnin' into hail I still might strike it lucky on a highway going west Though I'm travelin' on a lonesome trail So, fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It's not the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind I'll tell you of the laughter and the troubles Be they somebody else's or my own With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high I'll travel unnoticed and unknown So, fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It's not the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound Down around the Mexican plains They say that the people all are friendly there All they ask of you is your name So, fare the well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It's not the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind

La chanson évoque le départ d'un homme amoureux, qui se sent tiraillé entre son désir d'aventure et la douleur de laisser derrière lui sa bien-aimée. Il parle de ses projets d'errance, que ce soit vers le Mexique ou la Californie, tout en exprimant sa tristesse de devoir quitter celle qu'il aime. Ce n’est pas tant l’acte de partir qui lui pèse, mais plutôt la séparation, sachant que sa partenaire restera seule. Le contexte semble être celui d'un voyage initiatique ou d'une quête, où le protagoniste doit faire face aux imprévus de la route, comme le mauvais temps et la solitude. On ressent une ambiance mélancolique, accentuée par la promesse d'une rencontre future. Cela soulève des thèmes universels de l'amour, du sacrifice et de l'espoir d'un lendemain meilleur.
